Turner Classic Movies will hold a full roundtable discussion at the start of several of old Hollywood's most celebrated films to warn viewers about 'sexist and racist content' - prompting major mixed reaction from fans, with some slamming 'sick' cancel culture.

On Thursday, the cable network kicked off Reframed: Classic Films in the Rearview Mirror, a series where it says it examines the 'troubling and problematic' aspects of the classics, which were released from the 1920s to the 1960s.

Among the 18 flicks under the microscope include Breakfast at Tiffany's, Psycho, Gone With the Wind, My Fair Lady, Stagecoach, The Jazz Singer, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and more.

Some people are recommending one buy hardcopies of your favorite movies and books before the Woke decide to throw all these creations down the memory hole.

By the time these nut jobs are finished the only thing worth watching will be the shows with warning labels.

[Jonty30]

I highly agree with that. Books. Videos. Books on philosophy and Western Civilization.

[Vision]

TCM staff provide no value. Just play the moves and get rid of them.

That might turn out to be good advice. Because requiring warning labels is only the first step.

Step 1: Require warning labels.
Step 2. Ban the sale of the offending materials.
Step 3: Ban the possession of the offending materials. After all, it’s “hate material”.

This should come as no surprise. Fascists do what fascists do.

I wonder how long before they are going to demand placing content warnings before all religious shows and demand warning stickers on Bibles and religious books. Or, they may just bypass that and go straight to demanding it all be yanked.

Everything is Racist
(Apologies to Bob Dylan)

Racist words, racist rules
Racist lessons in racist schools
Racist movies, racist books
People robbed by racist crooks
Ain’t got no meaning, Ain’t got no basis

Everything is racist

Racist cops, racist preachers
Racist pols, racist teachers
Racist ads, racist art
Racist factions all living apart
Whatever happens, whatever the case is

Everything is racist

Every time I watch some TV clown
racist lectures are going down

Racist products, racist tools
Racist groups of racist fools
Racist jokes and racist memes
Racist songs with racist themes
Race-pimp reverends and mental cases

Everything is racist

Every time you leave and go off someplace
Cries of racist! are in your face

Racist sports stars, racist teams
Racist pundits with racist dreams
Racist actors in racist movies
Racist judges with racist duties
Forbidden thoughts, forbidden phrases

Everything is racist

Psycho? I can’t even fathom what they could be talking about in that one.

[freedumb2003]

Just like rhe book Tom Sawyer.

[Political Junkie Too]

In 40 years they will be placing warning labels on the warning labels:

Warning: This movie was labeled as inappropriate 40 years ago during a revisionist period in American history when minority viewpoints took control of major social outlets, and should be viewed in that context.

I watch Andy Griffith reruns on Amazon Prime and there are “violence, racist” warnings.

[tired&retired]

Next they will include any films with cannibalism like Hannibal as they might prefer dark or white meat!

We are living thru our own Cultural Revolution of 1966 Maoist China

Everyone is white. Or maybe it mocks the (really) elderly.

[Cecily]

I sure it will have something to do with calling Norman Bates a transvestite in a derogatory manner.

Meanwhile , at Disney

that Walt Disney Company holds monthly meetings with advocates from women and minority groups who comb through hundreds of hours of Disney-streamed content looking for potentially offensive material to flag.

These folks are demented.

[Big Red Badger]

Demented,
Yup.
.
“Blazing Saddles!”

[pepsionice]

Being anti-racist...is racist.
